Launch HN: Carry (YC S19) – We Book Travel for You on Slack

You mentioned that it's free for individuals. I have a few of questions.

1. I'm generally flexible about dates. The way I generally book a trip is to look at a date range and choose the cheapest option in several websites - Google Flights, Kayak, etc? Can I assume your process would be similar too?

2. It's a very time-consuming process. How would you do it for free?

3. Would I get any additional discount if I go through you/any authorized travel agent in general? Or do they also internally use the same websites we do?

Hey!

1. Yep, if you're flexible on dates we can look at flights within a certain range and help you find the cheapest option.

2. We make money off of commissions but always guarantee that we're giving you the lowest available online rate (which is much more transparency than most travel agencies offer). Re: 3., that's how we make our margin and offer Carry to individuals for free--there are additional discounts available to travel agents that aren't available through Google Flights/Kayak etc.
